Eastern State Penitentiary: A History, Hardcover/Paul Kahan

Descriere & specificații

Description Eastern State Penitentiary: A History documents the stories of the men and the method that shaped one of Philadelphia s most recognizable landmarks. In this superbly balanced and thoroughly researched volume, Paul Kahan presents the history of this revolutionary penitentiary, from its inception as a model of the revolutionary Pennsylvania System of incarceration in 1829 to the demands for its closure in the wake of ever-increasing violence in 1971. Through tales of spectacular escapes, official corruption, reformation and retribution, Kahan chronicles the tensions that plagued Eastern State since the arrival of its first prisoners."
